Overview

Originally defined for the GS2 mechanism family in RFC5801, several different mechanisms start with a GS2 header:

Classes that include this module must implement #authzid.

Instance Method Details

#gs2_authzid

The RFC5801 §4 gs2-authzid header, when #authzid is not empty.

If #authzid is empty or nil, an empty string is returned.

# File 'lib/net/imap/sasl/gs2_header.rb', line 59

def gs2_authzid
  return "" if authzid.nil? || authzid == ""
  "a=#{gs2_saslname_encode(authzid)}"
end

#gs2_cb_flag

The RFC5801 §4 gs2-cb-flag:

n

The client doesn’t support channel binding.

y

The client does support channel binding but thinks the server does not.

p

The client requires channel binding. The selected channel binding follows “p=”.

The default always returns “n”. A mechanism that supports channel binding must override this method.

# File 'lib/net/imap/sasl/gs2_header.rb', line 53

def gs2_cb_flag; "n" end

#gs2_header Also known as: #cbind_input

The RFC5801 §4 gs2-header, which prefixes the #initial_client_response.

Note: the actual GS2 header includes an optional flag to indicate that the GSS mechanism is not “standard”, but since all of the SASL mechanisms using GS2 are “standard”, we don’t include that flag. A class for a nonstandard GSSAPI mechanism should prefix with “F,”.
